Permissions Associated with System-Defined Roles

This section contains permissions assigned to the system-defined platform roles and system-defined product roles. Review the permissions before you assign system-defined roles to users.

Product Owner

Consider the following points related to this role

When you create or edit a product in the Lazsa Platform, in the product details, you can select one or more product owners.
The creator of the product is the default product owner. You can add more owners from the list of available users or remove any existing owners. Product creator cannot remove themselves from the list of owners.
Each product must have at least one owner.
After you choose product owners, the Product Owner role is assigned to them with all the permissions listed in this section.
You cannot assign this role explicitly to your product team members on the Teams tab of your product.
You cannot edit this role and cannot provide any tools' access to this role.
If you do not assign any other role to a product owner, the owner is not listed as a team member on the Teams tab of the product. However, you can add a product owner as a team member and assign them a product role from the list. In this case, the details of the product owner are displayed with the tag among the other product team members.

A Product Owner can manage design artifacts, business requirements, user stories, user feedback, technologies, development stages, and branch templates. They can configure cloud instances and clusters, and can manage Terraform runs, Jenkins job runs, and secrets throughout the product development cycle. They can edit and delete a product and can initiate maturity assessment at the product and team level.

Managing System-Defined Roles in Lazsa

System-defined roles provide predefined access controls for both platform-wide and product-specific functionalities. These roles allow administrators to efficiently manage user access and tool permissions without needing to create custom roles from scratch. Managing system-defined roles involves two key tasks: assigning users to platform roles and configuring tools' access for product roles. This ensures that users have the appropriate permissions to perform their responsibilities effectively.

Manage Users for System-Defined Platform Roles

You can manage user assignments for system-defined platform roles. Do the following:

Go to Roles
Go to Configuration > Platform Setup > Users, Roles, Teams & Organization Hierarchy > Roles.
Click Manage Users
On the Roles tab, locate your desired system-defined platform role, click the ellipsis (...) on the right and click Manage Users.
Add or Remove Users
Add or remove users and save the changes.

Assign Tools Permissions to System-Defined Product Roles

If you plan to use system-defined roles and expect users in these roles to have access to specific tools within a product, ensure you modify the roles accordingly and assign the necessary tool permissions to the role. This ensures that users are granted only the necessary level of access to the tools required for their specific role. It provides a granular control over who can access each tool and what actions they can perform within the Lazsa Platform. This reduces the risk of unintended access.

Do the following:

Go to Roles
Go to Configuration > Platform Setup > Users, Roles, Teams & Organization Hierarchy > Roles.
Locate the Role to Customize
On the Roles tab, locate the system-defined product role you wish to customize.

Note:

You cannot edit the Product Owner role.

For example, let us assign the access privileges for Jira and Bitbucket Server to the system-defined Developer role. Click the ellipsis (...) on the right and click Edit.
Manage Tools' Access and Permissions for the Role
You cannot change the basic details or permissions for a system-defined role. Go to the Tools tab. Here you can decide which tools the role can access, and the actions the role can perform on each tool. For example, assign the required permissions for Jira and Bitbucket Server.
Review Role Definition
Click Next, review the role definition and click Done.
Assign Role to Users within a Product Team
Add a user to a product in the Lazsa Platform and assign the edited Developer role to the user.

The user inherits the access permissions specified in the role. In this example, Alex can access Jira and Bitbucket Server from the Lazsa Platform.
